The answer to the first question "Which word from the sentence provides an antonym context clue to the meaning of rudimentary?" is "Advanced." In the sentence, it states that "Success in math requires a student know the rudimentary facts; otherwise, they won't be able to complete more advanced problems." The word "advanced" is used to describe problems beyond the level of rudimentary

In terms of pursuing a higher education, the six questions to evaluate a source’s reliability discuss which outlets of information are credible, and which ones are not. To apply the six questions into finding sources in pursuing higher education, I would make sure to have a reputable publisher (such as a university), an author with good credentials (such as a person holding a doctorate in the area they are discussing), an unbiased publisher (such as an outlet of objectivity rather than subjectivity), a currently-dated article (keeping the information up-to-date), information that has citations and evidence to back up their statements (such as a scientific method experiment), and lastly, information regarding a common issue or dilemma that is also being discussed by other sources of information (such as political debates or environmental issues). A couple of examples of reliable and credible sources of information regarding higher education would be the articles discussing amount of debt the average college student holds, articles discussing the average graduation rate of 4-year university students, articles discussing the hot-button issue of global warming and how it is a threat to future civilizations, articles discussing the amount of students to have reportedly participated in plagiarism and cheating, and articles discussing how college professors are underpaid and exploited.

1. There is small amount of bias in the first passage. The author seems to favor passive resistance over people who use brute force, or extremists. He says the people who use brute force over being a passive resistor “devoid of courage and manhood.” To some, that could be very offensive. In the second passage their doesn’t appear to be any bias, if so, it is virtually undetectable. Nelson seems to know both sides of the story and speaks in a way that all people can get behind. He is obviously knowledgeable about what he’s speaking on.

2.Gandhi talks about the English at one point and that makes me think that they are trying to add their “two cents” to what India already has. In the second source, I think Nelson is speaking on the government and police systems being corrupt and them abusing their power. He said he decided to meet violence with violence, which means something was happening before he decided to get involved. If I was unable to determine the context, I personally might search what article, book, etc. the excerpt comes from to get a better understanding. With the second passage, it doesn’t come from a specific source that is listed so I might search words or phrases that are used to see where they come from.

3.Due to the fact that there is bias present in the first source, I would say that while it is still reliable, it might not be the first source I use to get evidence. The fact that it was written by Ghandi is a small redeeming factor. The second source, I would definitely use. It is a firsthand statement by Nelson Mandela, and he is very honest about the events that unfolded. To determine a sources reliability, I would first check the accuracy of the information with what I already know. I would also check where the source comes from and who wrote it as well as the type of source it is. Lastly, I would check for bias.

4. They both talk and address the government and the powers that are corrupt at different points in the passages. The main difference between the two is that in the 1st passage, the standpoint is more the difference in the people that are fighting back against the oppressors, while in the 2nd passage the standpoint is of a person fighting back that knows they could’ve did it differently and the events that took place didn’t have to happen. They both confirm that repressive governments need to be handled and that it is the publics job to call them out and step in when necessary.  For me personally, to find a source that would corroborate another one, I would search for the overall theme or message of the source I already have. Then based on what comes up find a short passage that I can use.

Ok, that was a lot. Could i maybe get brainliest?

1. Sites that end with .org or .gov are generally more trustworthy than sites that end with .com.

2. Articles with more information about its crreation, e.g the date of creation and author, help give it more credibility.

3. I'm not sure about this one, but the most credible sources have correct grammar and spelling and no typos.

Good luck!

B is the answer. Answer A is not because Wikipedia can be edited by others without prior approval. Answer C is not the answer because .edu sites are the most reliable sites by educational institutes. Answer D is also not correct because a website’s looks doesn’t mean it is reliable in any way.
